So sorry you are going through this, I had a fissure for 8 years and like you thought I’d tried everything until I came across Laxido and it worked wonders for me and and I no longer have a fissure. If you’ve not tried it it’s definitely worth a go, it’s a laxative but not in the traditional sense i.e it’s not a stimulant but draws water to the bowel to make BMs super soft. So you have to make sure you drink plenty water with it or it won’t do anything.
Hope this helps x

These are things that worked for me
Poop in sitz bath sounds mad but works / hot water as hot as you can stand put coconut oil in it
After poop sit back on it with fresh water and coconut oil again
Cotton pads after with tea tree oil
Retogestic cream
Proktis m suppositories
Hot water bottle
2 x zapain
Laxido twice a day
Lots of water
Another thing that was good and sounds crazy is Bert bees lip balm with peppermint it helped madness
Hope this helps
It does get better but keep your stools soft and eat daily
Crazy but need to poop to heal if you get a hard poop you be back to square one

Im not in the Uk. I was reading that the laxido has a few extra things that miralax doesn't. Not sure if those are to supposed to help or are they just electrolytes? Miralax is losing effectiveness for me and I have an anal fissure so poo must be soft and mirlax was usually the only thing that worked for me. I even upped the dose to two and I noticed a few hard parts which means it is going to stop working. I don't think 3 is safe.

Thanks for replying. I was going to buy this after checking it out but I do think it is the same as miralax so I guess it doesn't make sense to purchase.

I;ve been going through this for 2 years
just been to see a new doctor who says I have fistula's on my fissures which he described as the same as abscesses on teeth only in my muscles of my rectum just had an MRI scan and waiting for the results
rectogesic cream helped me because it stops the muscles contracting which is the pain
wouldn't wish this condition on my worst enemy
It's good to share

Hello Aimee. I haven't been in here for about a year I think.
I saw your message while looking through my email and I received a notice about your comment.
I know what you're going through I've been there.
I can only say that you're going to have to do the surgery.
I did botox first and it helped me a little bit but not enough. I ended up getting surgery and then it went away. I know it's scary and all but I promise you that it's not as bad as you think. You're going to be in the same amount of pain at first and then it will get better. As long as you follow a diet that keeps everything soft you'll be ok. I didn't take any norcos for pain because that constipated but I took Motrin or something similar called Tramadol for the pain and that helped along with sitz baths. I know it's going to take a sacrifice on time and it's scary but it's not as scary as you think. And then after your life will go back to normal. You'll have to take care of yourself for life after that which means avoid foods that will potentially constipate you and if you do make sure you take a stool softener or something. But I know from my personal experience the doctor told me that this will have to be something I will have to watch out for for the rest of my life because I will be more prone to get it again. So I am and it's ok. My life is back normal for the most part. I recommend you wipe with baby wipes, unscented, use something called Calmoseptin (i found it online) which helps sooth after a BM and use your sitz baths right after with warm water. Make sure you keep everything clean back there. It will be a regimine but it will be ok after that. Best of luck to you!
